Wild Rose FoundationLEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
In 2000/2001, a two year Leadership Development program aimed at developing and promoting personal and community leadership was offered by the Olds Chamber. Due to its success, the Chamber, along with partners The Blooming Lodge, CAREERS ... The Next Generation, Olds College, and the Innisfail Agricultural Society, received another grant from the Wild Rose Foundation to run a second two year program. Adult leadership training will result in skills being passed back into the community; youth will take their skills with them as they move on and contribute to society. For more information, please check out our Leadership Development page.

BUSINESS AFTER HOURS
The Olds Chamber has been promoting "Business After Hours" events since 2001. This gives Chamber members a new means of showcasing their businesses, providing an opportunity to gain exposure for their products or services by hosting an event at their place of business. For more information, please check out our Business After Hours page.

SEAL LUNCHEON
The Chamber organizes the Staff/Employee Appreciation Luncheon in April every year. This luncheon usually sells out prior to the event and in the past, featured a Fashion Show featuring garments made and retailed in the Olds area.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
The Chamber has been sponsoring a Pancake Breakfast during the Olds Fair & Rodeo since 1996. Held every August in Olds, the breakfast is an enormous success with over 1,500 people filling up on flapjacks, coffee, and sausages. The 2007 Pancake Breakfast will be on Saturday, August 11, 2007.

Small Business WeekBUSINESS AWARDS WEEK
The Olds Chamber celebrates Business Awards Week each October, hosting workshops, a breakfast or luncheon, and closing out the celebrations with a grand banquet. Three "Business of the Year" awards (according to number of employees) are presented at the banquet, and the "Community Spirit" (formerly the Community Enhancement Award). "The People's Choice Award" is also being promoted, and the Chamber was pleased to introduce a new award in 2005, the "Exceptional Customer Service" Award.

Business Week pays tribute to the owners and managers of small and medium sized enterprises. The week is a great reminder to the entire community of the tremendous contribution small business makes to our local economy. For more information, please check out our Business Awards Week page.

OLDS FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
The Olds Chamber helps the community promote activities held during "Olds Fashioned Christmas", a series of community, cultural and recreational events that take place during November and December. For more information, please see our Olds Fashioned Christmas page.

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION EVENT
The Chamber of Commerce recognizes the incredible efforts put forth by our volunteers at the annual Appreciation Event held late in the fall. A guest speaker, holiday music, great entertainment and refreshments are simple but sincere acknowledgement to those who give their time to our efforts throughout the year.
